Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I'm sorry but if you're gonna make the 50,000th video essay about Harry Potter you're gonna have to tackle it from a more interesting angle than "thing good or bad??"

almost all works of art are both good and bad. HP is good in its worldbuilding and sense of adventure, bad in its blatant bigotry and middling in its storytelling

I lost interest when I had to read about all the characters "snogging"

Yes but have you considered that I enjoy listening to youtubers dunk on the world's most prominent TERF for being a terrible writer all along?

HP is good in its worldbuilding

Sometimes, but sometimes it's really bad. Like time turners.
